Hippie Radio to carry local music show live

Scenic City Roots on Hippie

When Scenic City Roots debuts on March 7 at Track 29, the sister program to Nashville’s Music City Roots will follow in its footsteps as a live concert and live radio broadcast on 106.9-FM Hippie Radio. The show will also be streamed live in high-definition online at wtcitv.org and filmed for rebroadcast on Thursdays beginning in April on WTCI-TV Channel 5, Chattanooga’s PBS affiliate.

Announced earlier this month, Scenic City Roots will take place once monthly at Track 29. Shows begin at 7 p.m. and can be heard live on Hippie Radio, a Chattanooga radio station owned by Brewer Media, which also owns The Pulse.

The debut show will include four acts during the two-hour live show with one Chattanooga artist featured on each show. Bands for the March 7 show include the WTM Blues Band, The SteelDrivers, JOHNNYSWIM and St. Paul & The Broken Bones.

Summer Foxx, host of Hippie Radio’s 3 to 7 p.m. show will offer listeners the chance to win free tickets to the live show beginning on Feb. 25. Tune in and visit hippieradio1069.com for updates.

Tickets to the live show are $10 or $5 for students with ID and can be purchased online at sceniccityroots.com, track29.co or at the Track 29 box office, 1400 Market St., on the campus of the Chattanooga Choo Choo.
